A lot of us are feeling unhappy and disengaged at work \u2013 and that started long before the pandemic. A big part of the problem, says Marcus Buckingham, is that we don\u2019t take the initiative to do more of the tasks that we truly love. After identifying what most energizes and excites you about your current role or employer, you can try a host of strategies to shape your work around those things.\n\nIn this special series from HBR, we\u2019re looking at how to find love in your work. In this episode, we explain how to shift your current role to focus on what really drives you.\n\nIdeaCast co-host Alison Beard speaks with Marcus Buckingham, head of research on people and performance at the ADP Research Institute and author of the new book Love + Work.
